Solid brick home with room to breathe and the lake practically down the road. This three-bedroom, two-bathroom, one-story brick home in Hamblen County comes with a bonus room, a fenced backyard, and Cherokee Lake access less than five minutes away. Walk in and the hardwood floors grab you first. They run through a big living room with a stone fireplace that practically begs for a couch right in front of it. The dining room sits just off the living room, and French doors open onto a back deck overlooking rolling hills and open fields. Morning coffee out there is going to be hard to beat. The kitchen has white cabinets, granite countertops, and tile floors. The refrigerator, stove, dishwasher, and microwave all stay, so you can cook dinner your first night. Your bedroom has its own bathroom with a walk-in shower, so nobody's fighting over the mirror in the morning. The other two bedrooms have hardwood floors and work great for guests or an office. The hall bathroom has an updated vanity, tile floors, and a tub with a shower. Then there's the bonus room. It's about 18 by 14 feet, with wood-look floors and a sliding glass door to the outside. Make it a den, a game room, a home gym, or the spot where everyone watches the game. The laundry room is roomy too, with space for folding, storage, and all the stuff that never has a home. Out back, the yard is fenced and shaded by a big old tree, and a storage shed gives you a place for the mower, tools, and fishing gear. The roof is only about three years old. Here's the best part. You're less than five minutes from Cherokee Lake access, so you can be fishing, kayaking, or boating before your friends finish packing the cooler. Morristown is close for shopping and dinner, and Jefferson City and Knoxville are an easy drive. If you want space, a lake nearby, and a quiet Talbott street to come home to, this is the one.
